Analysis and write up of the 2+ years of orbitrap data collected by the GBRCLMP, including a statistical analysis of land use relationships

Theme: Environmental Management

Description: 

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science has conducted non-targeted organic chemical analysis of rivers that discharge to the GBR for two years. This project will collate that data to determine what chemicals are present, how frequently each is detected, summary concentration statistics and determine if there are relationships between their occurrence and land use.

This project will help determine what chemicals are included in future chemical analysis of GBR waterways.
